Hi
Welcome to the forum.
Together they mean possible urinary tract infection.
The next step would be to check urine deposit for microscopy to look for wbc and rbc.
If they are present (wbc and rbc more than 5), urine culture test is needed to confirm UTI.
THE REPORT WILL guide on the correct choice of antibiotic.
Hope this helps.
